Board Certified Surgeons
A veterinary surgeon is a veterinarian who has completed additional training after veterinary school and is certified by the American College of Veterinary Surgeons (ACVS). If your pet requires advanced care or surgical procedures, your primary care veterinarian may refer you to an ACVS Diplomate, a board-certified veterinary surgeon.
Our surgeons value collaboration with you and your regular veterinarian to provide comprehensive care for your pet. This team approach ensures the highest standard of treatment and the best possible outcomes for your cat or dog.
